In our alcohol-saturated society, it can be challenging to know if our drinking is really “that bad”. Do we really need to change anything, especially if our external lives seem great? How about if people around us drink even more than we do? This cognitive dissonance can delay or completely prevent us from taking action. There is no shame in recognizing an issue with your drinking. Listen in and find empowerment.

1. Seek professional help: Addiction is a complex issue, and it often requires professional help to overcome. Whether you choose to work with a therapist, attend support groups, or seek medical treatment, getting help is an essential step in the recovery process.
2. Build a support network: Surrounding yourself with supportive people can make a big difference in overcoming addiction. Whether it's friends, family, or members of a support group, having people who understand what you are going through and can offer encouragement and support can be incredibly helpful.
3. Find healthy coping mechanisms: Many people turn to drugs or alcohol as a way to cope with stress or other challenges. Finding healthy coping mechanisms, such as exercise, meditation, or creative activities, can help you manage stress and build resilience without turning to substances.
4. Set goals and stay focused: Setting specific goals and working towards them can be a powerful motivator in overcoming addiction. It can help you stay focused on the positive changes that you are making and give you a sense of purpose and direction in life.
5. Practice self-care: Taking care of yourself is essential in overcoming addiction and building a fulfilling life. This can include eating well, getting enough sleep, and engaging in activities that bring you joy and fulfillment.

Head of Wellbeing at leading employee wellbeing platform, Better Space, James Dashwood is a father, a husband, and a recovering alcoholic. 

Sober for seven years he has been on a journey of introspection where he’s learned so much about himself, about addiction and about what it means to be content.

He shares his story about growing up and how he recognises that he used external things to soothe internal pain. James is remarkably candid in reflecting about how he sees himself, his desire to control others, and to connect, for which he recognises he used alcohol to do so.

He talks about AA and the 12 step programme and why it's been transformative for him. We speak about expectations,  how releasing them can improve relationships and about why he believes addiction is a spiritual matter.

James talks about his experience of depression and anxiety and how, often the things that help the most such as talking to others,  seem like the hardest thing to do at the time and he shares some of his tools that help him.

We talk about success and how its traditionally measured, and how we both recognise that contentment, over happiness, is something to strive for.

And we chat about the importance of taking responsibility and of the power of perception, in Shakespeare's words: 'There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.'

We also mention a few books during the episode:
